Our customer contacted us regarding a composite deck they had installed 5 years ago from another deck company which we had to advise customer not to walk on as a matter of safety incase the deck collapsed..
The budget composite boards used on this build were all warped and split due to poor installation of timber subframe which was severely rotten and warped.
Lack of airflow around the timber subframe has resulted in this deck being fully replaced at the cost to our customer.
Installed on fully treated c24 strength graded subframe, m12 bolted into composite ground posts to ensure no rotting at ground point and a good solid fixing to subframe..
25mm airflow around perimiter of deck to all abutments to ensure proper breathing and expansion.
Good quality midrange composite grey decking boards installed at 300mm joist centers as per manufacturers recommendations so to ensure boards stay solid and in warrenty..
Alfresco Decks…
Built to last
